Predicate and Object Noun!

Re: Predicate and Object Noun!

Both the direct object and the predicate noun come after the verb. What you need to do is look at the verb and decide if it's a linking verb or not a linking verb. If it's a linking verb, then the noun is a predicate noun, and if it's not a linking verb then the noun is a direct object. With linking verbs, the noun is called a predicate noun. (Please see the list of linking verbs I provided before)

Re: Predicate and Object Noun!

1. The Noun "pizza" is a Object Noun.

2. The Noun "book" is a Object Noun.

3. The Noun "Student" is a Predicate Noun.

4. The Noun "Cake" is a Object Noun.

you gave me linking verb then its essential to memorise them there are so many how can i remember them and i think there are also many linking verb except them. Okay anyway here is my test . we will discuss more okay.
And one thing more with the help of you and your team i gain 85% in my english class test so today is also a test pray for me.

Re: Predicate and Object Noun!

Hey Casiopea Are you there! Please tolerate me little bit more and look at my answers. and give me grade. i am waiting and i also ask you some more questions. and what about Indirect Objects? okay nice to see you.

Note, "like" expresses a state. Max didn't do anthing to the pizza. Max just likes pizza. Linking verbs express states; non-linking verb have the subject doing something to the direct object. Remember, it's called a "direct" object, not just "object".

2. Sam gave the book to Pat. (direct object)
=> "gave" is not a linking verb.

3. We are students. (predicate nominal)
=> "are" is a linking verb.

4. She baked a cake. (direct object)
=> "baked" is not a linking verb.

About indirect objects:

Some verbs take more than one object, and the second object is called the indirect object. Example,

She gave the book to Pat.

The indirect object is required by the verb. If it's omitted, the sentence doesn't make sense:

She gave the book. (Huh? Who did she give the book to?)

The indirect object can switch places with the direct object, and when that happens the preposition is often omitted:

Re: Predicate and Object Noun!
